# Rollback Automation Skill

Automates rollback procedures for migration activities, managing state snapshots, generating rollback scripts, and automating verification.

## Purpose

Enable safe rollback for:
- State snapshot management
- Rollback script generation
- Database rollback coordination
- Traffic switch rollback
- Verification automation

## Capabilities

### 1. State Snapshot Management
- Create pre-migration snapshots
- Store state checkpoints
- Version snapshots
- Clean up old snapshots

### 2. Rollback Script Generation
- Generate database rollbacks
- Create code rollbacks
- Build config rollbacks
- Document procedures

### 3. Database Rollback Coordination
- Generate reverse migrations
- Handle data rollback
- Manage transactions
- Coordinate sequences

### 4. Traffic Switch Rollback
- Revert routing rules
- Switch DNS
- Update load balancers
- Handle sticky sessions

### 5. Verification Automation
- Test rollback success
- Verify functionality
- Check data integrity
- Validate performance

### 6. Rollback Testing
- Test rollback procedures
- Simulate failures
- Validate timing
- Document results
